I want to be ready,
I want to be ready

I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem

John said the city was just four-square
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
And he declared he’d meet me there
Walk in Jerusalem just like John

Oh, John, oh John, what do you say?
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
That I’ll be there at the coming day
Walk in Jerusalem just like John 

When Peter was preaching at Pentecost
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
He was endowed with the Holy Ghost
Walk in Jerusalem just like John

If you get there before I do
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
Tell all my friends I’m a-coming too
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
